Sex and social networking: the influence of male presence on social structure of female shark groups (2010, background): “This indicates that sharks also may be capable of cognitively complex behaviors, such as social systems, individual recognition, and dominance hierarchies (Myrberg and Gruber 1974; Sims 2003).”
Overview of the conservation status of cartilaginous fishes (Chondrichthyans) in the Mediterranean Sea (2007, background): “A strong correlation between the presence of C. maximus, chlorophyll concentration and prey abundance in these areas indicate they are important feeding sites (Sims 2003; Sims et al. 2003).”
Spatial and temporal movement patterns of a multi-species coastal reef shark aggregation (2011, unknown): “The underlying processes determining this partitioning and segregation are often related to predator avoidance and the reduction of intra- and inter-specific resource competition (Sims 2003).”
Heat-seeking sharks: support for behavioural thermoregulation in reef sharks (2012, background): “Indeed, many aspects of shark physiology are regulated by temperature (Sims 2003), which might explain finescale movement patterns and the close association with specific temperature ranges observed for some species (Simpfendorfer & Heupel 2004, Sequeira et al. 2011).”
Developing a deeper understanding of animal movements and spatial dynamics through novel application of network analyses (2012, background): “Further exploration of individual node-based metrics of each of the six receivers (Table 2) reveals high male betweenness, suggesting a roaming strategy in comparison to what is likely a refuging (philopatric) strategy in the female; such behaviour has also been documented fromdirect observational s”

Quantifying movement patterns for shark conservation at remote coral atolls in the Indian Ocean (2011, background): “It is thought to have evolved as a consequence of competition for resources or predation (Sims 2003).”
Social preferences of juvenile lemon sharks, Negaprion brevirostris (2009, background): “It is widely accepted that many shark species show ontogenetic and sex-based shifts in habitat use and diet composition (reviewed in Wetherbee & Cortes 2004) and these passive sorting mechanisms may contribute to the formation of size- and sex-segregated groups (Sims 2003; Hulbert et al. 2005;Wearmo”
The role of learning in shark behaviour (2009, background): “Sharks as a model animal cannot be considered a ‘typical fish’ (Sims 2003).”
To go or not to go with the flow: Environmental influences on whale shark movement patterns (2010, background): “…maximus Gunnerus) is a large filter-feeding migratory shark that actively seeks out productive biological habitats along the continental shelf over areas of several hundred to thousand kilometres to forage in temporally discrete, high productivity areas associated with ocean fronts (Sims, 2003).”
